Chapter 417: Chapter 178: Martial Saint Technique, The Immortal Martial Path to the Summit_6

The guests were all joyful.

The luncheon concluded.

After saying their goodbyes, the Academy starship returned, and Qin Jin boarded the Xingzhou Ship, heading back to the designated planet.

Passing through the planet’s periphery and entering its interior, the terminal slightly trembled, and Candle Kite’s voice emerged.

"Qin Jin."

"The Pioneer Corps has issued a new mission."

"Oh?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Candle Kite’s silhouette appeared; beside her, a light screen emerged.

[Exotic Beast Cleansing in Special Zone]

[Required Level]: Level 5

[Other Requirements]: Must operate mecha

(The Pioneer Corps will provide mecha support; those with custom mecha will have all expenses covered by the Corps)

[Mission Start Time]: Countdown: 71:59:46

[Mission Gathering Location]: No. 36 Pioneer Base

His gaze swept across, and Qin Jin’s eyes slightly brightened.

Mecha combat!

While selecting a mission at the Academy, Qin Jin’s request included mecha combat, after all... this is an essential part of the Xinghai Martial Arts Family.

Now...

The Azure Thunder Profound Halberd finally has another opportunity to appear in the Star Sea.

"Candle Kite, change direction immediately and head to the mission gathering site."

"Understood!"

"Let’s go."

The Xingzhou Ship adjusted its direction, swiftly advancing within the planet, heading towards the No. 36 Pioneer Base.

...

Three days later.

No. 36 Pioneer Base was extremely vast, much larger than the base Qin Jin initially visited. After arriving here, Qin Jin proceeded with everything step by step.

And now...

As the mission time approached, nearing noon, figures began to move out from within the base, heading to the designated area.

This area resembled a super-large plaza, military blue manufactured mecha arranged and stationed, some already activated, while others remained dormant, yet to be piloted.

At the other end of these neatly arranged manufactured mecha was the gathering area for personal mechas. Those rated Level 5 are certainly extraordinary Martial Arts practitioners, many of whom already possess their own personal mecha. Compared to the other side, this area seemed a bit casual, with mechas differing in shape, style, and color, creating a colorful display.

Upon arriving here.

Qin Jin examined all the mechas around him, revealing curiosity in his eyes.

This was his first time witnessing a comprehensive mecha cluster in reality, just standing still, their presence was suffocating, leaving one with an inexplicable sense of dread.

The mechas here were all extraordinary combat mecha. With Qin Jin’s profession recognized by the panel as a [Mecha Master], paired with his perception, he could directly discern the strengths and weaknesses and analyze the directions each mecha excelled in.

In his observation.

Personnel wearing Pioneer Corps uniforms approached, confirming his identity, and kindly said: "Specialist Qin, if you haven’t brought your personal mecha, you can operate the Corps’ manufactured mecha for battle."

He pointed to a nearby area: "You can choose freely among the Corps’ mecha there."

"I have my own mecha."

"Then please enter the cockpit and initiate a mental connection."

"We will be setting out soon."

Qin Jin nodded.

The Azure Thunder Profound Halberd’s exclusive spatial device fell into his hand, with a subtle thought, the black-gold humanoid mecha appeared.

Around him, many gazes focused on him.

Activate the transmission function; Qin Jin’s figure vanished, entering the cockpit, establishing the mental connection. The extraordinary runes across the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd shimmered instantly, its powerful presence spreading outward.

Due to sectional stage reasons, entering the Grandmaster Realm and unlocking the final stage, previously, it couldn’t be regarded as the most top-tier mecha.

But...

In the Great Wilderness, with Wish Power and Spiritual Power continuously influencing it, the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd has since improved. During that ceremony, when the Wish Power Golden Body was refined for it, Qin Jin was confident it wouldn’t be inferior to any Federation top-tier Grandmaster mecha, perhaps even superior!

The mecha stepped on the ground, emitting a muffled sound, as Qin Jin joined the mecha cluster, waiting silently.

Time passed.

About half an hour later.

In the distance, the sky suddenly darkened.

Within the base, countless gazes looked far away, only to see... in the far-off sky, an unparalleled gigantic ship-like platform hurriedly approaching!

Looking up from below, wherever it passed, it obscured everything in the sky, almost like a moving continent in the heavens!

In the Starfire Federation, it has a rather resounding name.

Land Ark.

The Ark advanced, hovering above the base, despite it being daylight, the base’s lights automatically ignited, illuminating brightly, covering the location of the mecha cluster. At that moment, dazzling transport light descended from above, enveloping each mecha.

Light flashed.

Most of the area was now empty, transported into the Ark.

In the next moment.

The Land Ark confirmed its direction, heading far away.

...

On the Ark.

Encompassed by transport light, the mecha cluster entered the Ark interior, waiting, within a spacious hall, precisely the transport cabin below the Ark.

At this moment.

At the forefront of the hall, a projection screen appeared, displaying an image of a military-uniformed, steadfast-looking figure.

"Fellow mission specialists."

His voice sounded, solemnly: "I am the commander of the Third Battle Group in the Weiyang Star System’s Pioneer Corps."

"This operation will be under my full command."

"Our destination is the ocean region of this Life Planet; our ultimate target lies within the deep sea."

"This planet has long been shrouded in the Star Sea Phenomenon, resulting in ecological mutations. Detailed information will soon be distributed to your mission programs."

"My only requirement is this."

"This is a collective mission, everyone must not act recklessly, Pioneer Corps warriors will act alongside all mission specialists. If anything occurs, please promptly use the public channel to call, for information sharing."

"Let us meet again in the deep sea."

With these final words, the screen dissipated.

The terminal fluttered, as new information appeared on his bracelet.

Qin Jin examined it carefully.

The Ark proceeded, overshadowing everything, after traveling for a period, finally reaching its destination.

At this instant, the floor beneath the transport cabin suddenly became transparent, displaying the scene below.

Beneath the Ark, the land had turned into the ocean, a glance revealed the sea surface radiating strange fluorescence, looking rather unusual.

The mechanical broadcast sounded.

"Mecha deployment is about to begin."

"Please prepare, mission specialists."

The broadcast repeated several times...

The transparent floor below split at the center, gradually disconnecting, opening to the sides, forming a slope, one battle mecha after another slid downward, dropping towards the sea!
